History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. \u2014 Oakland\u00a0(10-34, 5-16 HL) fell to Central Michigan (20-27, 9-18 MAC) with a final score of 6-4 on Tuesday at Theunissen Stadium. The Golden Grizzlies attempted a late rally with four runs in the final two innings, but the Chippewas’ early lead proved insurmountable.<\/p>\n Junior Ben Clark<\/a> led the Black and Gold with three hits and scored two runs, contributing to the offensive output. Fifth-year Kyle Revere<\/a> added power to the lineup with a home run and drove in two runs, while also drawing a walk at the plate as sophomore\u00a0Aidan Schuck<\/a> recorded an RBI with a double. On the mound, freshman Tagertt Dillard<\/a> pitched a scoreless inning to close things down for OU, allowing only one hit and earning a strikeout.<\/p>\n Central Michigan took an early lead in the first inning with a bases-loaded walk. In the third inning, CMU\u00a0extended its lead with back-to-back RBI singles before a balk allowed another run to go-ahead, increasing the Chippewas’ advantage to 4-0 by the end of the inning.<\/p>\n The Chips added runs in the fourth and seventh to cap off their offense at six runs of the afternoon.<\/p>\n Oakland got on the board in the eighth inning. Clark doubled and was later driven in by Schuck’s ground-rule double.<\/p>\n In the ninth frame, redshirt-junior Sam Griffith<\/a> doubled and scored on Clark’s single. Revere followed with a two-run homer into left-center field, scoring Clark and cutting the deficit to 6-4. However, the Golden Grizzlies’ rally fell short before the final out.<\/p>\n Freshman right-hander Will Paxson<\/a> started on the dirt for Oakland, pitching 2.3 innings and allowing four earned runs on six hits while picking up a strikeout. Junior Ryan Donley<\/a> relieved Paxson, throwing 1.1\u00a0innings and conceding an earned run on two hits, before junior\u00a0Jordan Dahlof<\/a> followed with a solid 3.0 innings of work, surrendering a run on two hits, while striking out one. Dillard closed down with 1.0 inning, picking up a strikeout without allowing a run.<\/p>\n The Golden Grizzlies will travel to face Notre Dame for a three-game series starting May 8 in South Bend, Ind. First pitch for Friday is slated for 6:30 p.m. ET on ACCNX.<\/p>\n How to Follow Oakland Baseball: For complete information on Oakland Baseball, follow the team on X at @OaklandBSB<\/a> and head coach Brian Nelson<\/a> at @CoachNelly11<\/a>.
